Cardano launches smart contracts after successful hard fork
Cardano launches smart contracts after successful hard fork.
Cardano has completed its Alonzo hard fork to introduce Plutus-powered smart contract scripts.
Cardano has announced the completion of its Alonzo hard fork, ushering in its long-awaited smart contract functionality.
On Monday, IOHK tweeted (https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1437174002603204609) that the upgrade had been completed successfully at epoch 290, facilitating the creation and execution of smart contracts on the public blockchain for the first time.
Despite celebrating the milestone, Cardano notes that it is still in the “early days for the project,” asserting that now is when “the mission truly begins” in a blog post (https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/09/12/today-will-feel-like-a-destination-yet-a-new-exciting-journey-begins/) published on the same day, “This is where the mission truly begins as we – the whole community – start delivering on the vision we have all been working towards for so long. Building a decentralized system that extends economic identity and opportunity to everyone, everywhere.”
The Alonzo fork enables smart contracts to be written for Cardano using Plutus scripts, which the team describes as “a purpose-built smart contract development language and execution platform using the functional programming language Haskell.”

Bitcoin worth $2 billion moves for just $0.78
Bitcoin worth $2 billion moves for just $0.78.
An unknown wallet benefited from Bitcoin’s low-fee blockchain yesterday with a transaction worth $2 billion.
Block data (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/e09d4bb6c6b30a10b8168ab1f55dcb9b7fd571270f14beea2dcb5fb8dcac967a) from Blockchain.com reveals that a colossal Bitcoin (BTC (https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price)) transaction worth $2 billion was processed on Monday night. Despite the enormous financial value, the unknown wallet holder only paid 0.00001713 BTC fees equivalent to $0.78.
Although it is unknown what the purpose of this transfer was, or indeed which individual or entity enacted it, what has clearly been showcased is the enormous potential of financial transactions utilizing cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies.
However, this is not the first instance of a transaction of this magnitude with minimal fees. Back in August 2020, a Bitcoin transaction worth $1 billion was recorded with a nominal fee of just $4 (https://cointelegraph.com/news/someone-transferred-a-billion-dollars-in-bitcoin-for-less-than-5).
